    The Good Grief Run & Walk is built around the belief that movement and community can be healing. We gather not to “get over” grief, but to honor our stories, feel connection, and support one another. Whether you’re remembering a loved one, supporting a friend, showing solidarity, or just enjoying community — this is your space.

    5K Run & Walk: Open to both competitive runners and casual walkers. The course is a combination of flat and hills, stroller and child-friendly.

    2K Walk: This shorter course is open to walkers only; stroller and child-friendly.

    Virtual 5: Chart your own course and join us in solidarity!

    This is a whole community event!

    Event Schedule

    • Check-in and bib pick-up is from 9:00–9:50am (come early to grab free coffee from Kestrel Coffee – while supplies last!)

    Race History

    The GMAA has held a variation of the Red Rocks 5k since the early 1990s to raise money for the GMAA scholarship fund. Each year the GMAA awards scholarships to college-bound runners based on their contributions to the sport of running and their academic achievement. In recent years the GMAA has awarded 2 or 3 $1,000 scholarships to students who have achieved academic excellence and contributed to the sport of running.

    Registration

    Entry Fee: $20 (GMAA members subtract $5)

    • Pre-registration is encouraged. All pre-registered runners will be entered into the raffle.

    • Online pre-registration will close the night before the race at midnight.

    • In-person registration will be available on race day 8-9AM.

    • There will be no refunds, deferrals, or transfers.

    Restrictions

    Open to all runners 12 and older. For runners under the age of 12, the runner must be accompanied by a parent or guardian throughout the race.

    Refreshments

    We will provide post-race snacks and water.

    Facilities

    There will be porta-potties near the entrance to the park and the park restrooms will also be open.

    Prizes

    Awards for the overall men’s, women’s and non-binary finisher in each age group. For the scholarship division (17 and under), top three finishers will be awarded in each category.

    All pre-registered runners will be automatically entered into the raffle prizes, which will be distributed at bib pick-up.

    Parking

    Red Rocks will be open for race parking, but you will not be able to leave until all runners have finished, which is about 45 minutes after race start. Additionally, you can park on Central Ave, where you would normally park for Red Rocks.

    Lace up your running shoes and grab your spoons, the Brain Freezer 5K is back!!

    If you are new to the race, the rules are simple: Challengers run half a 5k, stop to down a full pint of Vermont made ice cream, then finish out the the race! Are you up for the challenge? (fun runners do not have to finish a pint)

    This is the second year we've done this route, and it was a huge success last year! The race will follow the bike path along beautiful Lake Champlain. It will run between North Beach and Waterfront Park with an ice cream eating pit stop in Water Works Park.

    Prizes will be given out for best costume and best team costumes, so have fun with it!

    All of the proceeds from the race go to People Helping People Global, a Vermont-based international development organization that provides interest-free microloans to people living on less than $2 a day. Here is the link to learn more about the organization: PHPG's website.

    We thank all of the companies and volunteers that have donated money, time, or services to PHPG to make the Brain Freezer 5K happen!
